25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; Purpose of this package:
28 ;; To present a framework for mode-specific buffer indexes.
29 ;; A buffer index is an alist of names and buffer positions.
30 ;; For instance all functions in a C-file and their positions.
32 ;; How it works:
34 ;; A mode-specific function is called to generate the index. It is
35 ;; then presented to the user, who can choose from this index.
37 ;; The package comes with a set of example functions for how to
38 ;; utilize this package.
40 ;; There are *examples* for index gathering functions for C/C++ and
41 ;; Lisp/Emacs Lisp but it is easy to customize for other modes. A
42 ;; function for jumping to the chosen index position is also
43 ;; supplied.
45 ;; Installation:
46 ;; Put this file in your load-path and insert the following in .emacs
48 ;; (autoload 'imenu-choose-buffer-index "imenu" "Menu of buffer index." t)
49 ;; (autoload 'goto-index-pos "imenu" "Goto buffer index position." t)
50 ;; (define-key global-map "\C-cj" 'goto-index-pos) ;; Or some other key
51 ;; (cond (window-system
52 ;; (define-key global-map [S-down-mouse-3] 'goto-index-pos)))
53 ;; Also run the 'add-hook' examples at the bottom of imenu.el.
55 ;;; Change Log:
56 ;; v1.6 Feb 28 1994 Ake Stenhoff
57 ;; Added alist as an optional argument to
58 ;; 'imenu-choose-buffer-index'.
59 ;; Thanks [dean].
60 ;; v1.5 Feb 25 1994 Ake Stenhoff
61 ;; Added code to parse DEFSTRUCT, DEFCLASS, DEFTYPE,
62 ;; DEFINE-CONDITION in the lisp example function.
63 ;; Thanks [simon].
64 ;; v1.4 Feb 18 1994 Ake Stenhoff
65 ;; Added 'imenu-create-submenu-name' for creating a submenu name.
66 ;; This is for getting a general look of submenu names.
67 ;; Added variable 'imenu-submenu-name-format' used by
68 ;; 'imenu-create-submenu-name'.
69 ;; v1.3 Feb 17 1994 Lars Lindberg
70 ;; Added 'imenu--flatten-index-alist' for flatten nexted index
71 ;; alists.
72 ;; New examples for lisp mode that utilizes the features better.
73 ;; Added the variable 'imenu-space-replacement'.
74 ;; The completion-buffer version of the index menu now replaces
75 ;; spaces in the index-names to make tokens of them.
76 ;; v1.2 Feb 14 1994 Ake Stenhoff & Lars Lindberg
77 ;; Now handles nested index lists.
78 ;; v1.1 Feb 9 1994 Ake Stenhoff & Lars Lindberg
79 ;; Better comments (?).
80 ;; v1.0 Feb 8 1994 Ake Stenhoff & Lars Lindberg
81 ;; Based on func-menu.el 3.5.
